SLCE Architects designed The Bold, while Tamara Eaton Design did the interior design. Modern Spaces is the exclusive leasing and marketing firm for this development.

“The Bold marks a pivotal moment in the redevelopment of Jackson Avenue, offering sleek, condo-style finishes tailored for discerning renters,” Modern Spaces Founder and CEO Eric Benaim said. “With Jackson Avenue’s rise as a prime residential and retail corridor, residents of The Bold will enjoy easy access to Trader Joe’s, Target, Jacx&Co Food Hall and Warby Parker, along with spectacular tower views and an amenity collection that rivals those of a condo building.”
